Overview


The Riken Keiki model GX-8000 sets a new industry standard for rugged, reliable, portable gas detection.

This robust, lightweight, sample drawing multi-gas monitor is designed to provide continuous and simultaneous exposure monitoring in hazardous areas of flammable, oxygen(O2) and toxic gases (carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) ) in air.

The 0-100% volume Thermal Conductive sensor additionally allows monitoring of volume levels of combustibles in oxygen-depleted environments and inert gas atmospheres.

This combination of sensor makes for a versatile detector, suitable for dual-use applications such as Confined Space and Purging or Inerting. Also, it’s rugged IP-67 waterproof design makes it well suited to harsh, tough environments; suitable for industries including oil and gas, utilities, waste water treatment, telecommunications, and marine shipping.

The compact, lightweight design makes it comfortable to carry using the shoulder/neck strap, and the optional waist strap allows for hands free use. The instrument is easy to operate single-handed and the powerful 750ml / minute built-in pump will draw a sample from 30m within a few seconds; alerting the user to a potentially hazardous combustible or toxic gas situation without delay.
The GX-8000 consolidates several of the older classic Riken models, such as the GX-111, NP-237H, GX-7, GX-85N, OX-62B, OX-1, OX-415, OX-226, GP-226, into one versatile unified multigas monitor.

Riken’s Gx-8000 usabliity and reliability are the culmination of 75 years expertise and experience as a leading gas detector and sensor manufacturer. Designed and certified to international standards (ATEX / IECEx / MED (wheel mark), etc), the GX-8000 will help protect workers and property from demanding gas detection applications.
